Chile is the most alcoholic of the South Amer ican nations, and Antofagasta, which has a primitive and untrustworthy water system, is probably the most alcoholic town in Chile. But even there, among a population which drank aguardiente as if it were just plain agua, the dipsoman- iacal conduct of the Ã mericano, Mur- ray, was an endless source of amaze- ment. This not-so-mysterious Ã nzericano was none other than Thomas Bohan, the Chelsea murderer. A couple of hours after shooting Lucas lVlardesich, he had learned from a late edition of a morn- ing paper that the cops were after him. He had hidden out for a day in his hrother's apartment in the Bronx. Then followed a week in Boston, three . months in Buffalo, another stay in Bos- ton, and finally a series of jobs as engine- room hand in ships sailing to South }\merica and the Orient. He had been beached in Antofagasta for fighting with other members of the crew. Murray set up housekeeping with 2 Chilean girl, and worked sporadically on a number of projects An American mining engineer, Thomas Duff, and a German sailor named Berkman, who had jumped an American ship, bought a bar, which they named the Moulin Rouge, and made Murray bartender. In six months, however, Murray had proved that he was born to the other side of the bar, and the venture failed. Duff and Murray also spent several months on the coast just north of Anto- fagasta, trying to trap seals for export, but seals no longer frequent those wa- ters as they once did. Murray's only steady income was the occasional postal orders which arrived from the United States by registered mail, addressed to his Chilean doxy. One wonders what Somerset Maugham would say of a remittance man whose remittances were paid out of his mother's earnings as a chambermaid. :Fiction has taught us what to expect of a fugitive who winds up in a tropical port. He remains a man of mystery. He drinks, of course, but in an aloof, solitary way. He strides the beaches at dawn, staring wistfully at the ships in the harbor. Thomas Murray seemed never to have read any fiction, how- ever. When he drank, he drank in the crowded cafés. ight after night, he would embark on an alcoholic cycle which began with the ceremonious drinking of toasts and ended, as likely as not, with the arrival of the police and the arrest of Murray. Murray was a 43 'I .,.:. ... ..,) . .... "J\. ::"'. . I 11 @ ..... ,"" . m . . .., ì ._ .l:""fJ..; "",,: I ::.. v '::.,1 .. -:". . ". "'!-. .
